Brief Answer:
My opinion is that your symptoms are connected with each other.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

My opinion is that your symptoms are connected with each other. Your symptoms most probably are related to rheumatismal and connective disorders. Rheumatismal and connective tissue disorders may be associated with back spine spondylosis and knee arthrosis.

In order to exclude/confirm connective disorder disease you should contact a rheumatologist and should do the following examinations:
- Blood work
- Spine x-ray
- Knee x-ray
- Rheumatismal factor and other connective tissue factors (AMA, ANA etc.)

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
